Abstract

Our purpose is to analyse, in the case of listed or registered2 public or private monuments and houses, the bases, the conditions and the effects of public intervention. In France, each time a monument is listed or registered by the administration, its conservation depends, directly or indirectly, partially or totally, on public funding. First, publicly owned heritage is (as long as it is not privatized) ‘naturally’ dependent on central or local authorities. This heritage represents about two-thirds of the total of listed monuments and houses in France.3 Secondly, the work involved in the upkeep or restoration of privately owned houses and chateaux (about one-third of the total of listed monuments) is systematically subsidized.4
